Ballsbridge university adopted the QCF as good method of recognizing credits earned on vocational learning or distance education and self base learning .The QCF (Qualifications Credit Framework) is a new way of recognising skills and qualifications. It does this by awarding credit for units (small steps of learning) and enables learners to gain qualifications at their own pace along flexible routes.
To reduce the burden of bureaucracy in the accreditation and assessment of qualifications.
The QCF system is based on units which have credit value and levels (from Entry Level 0 to Level 8). One credit roughly equals 10 learning hours which allows the learners to evaluate how much time they will need to gain the desired qualification. The QCF system gives awards at any difficulty level from 1 to 8 which is due to the fact that it reveals the size of qualification and not its difficulty level. The latter is indicated by the title of qualification which, however, also reveals the size of the qualification and its subject.
BQF is a standard publish by the Board of quality standards to recognize credits earned at educational institutions and professional education worldwide. Each qualification is matched to a level within the framework. All our BU qualifications recognized at levels with the framework. The BQF is an equivalent of QCF,NVQs,EQF and National Qualification framework in other countries.
